Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the representation of female sexuality in the context of romantic relationships through posts by the @18FESSS account on the X platform. This study employs a descriptive quantitative approach and Krippendorff's content analysis method to analyze 29 purposively selected tweets relevant to the topic, which are then coded into 10 thematic categories. The results of the analysis show two dominant categories, namely positive categories towards sexuality and personal sexual experiences, which represent female sexuality that is more open, reflective, and autonomous. This study found a shift in social norms that are more accepting of female sexual freedom. The inter-coder reliability test using Krippendorff's Alpha produced a value of 0.713, indicating acceptable reliability for exploratory research. The results of this study show that the @18FESSS menfess account, which acts as an anonymous digital space, has important potential as a medium for expressing female sexuality that often is out of place in public discourse. This study recommends expanding the amount of data and research time, adopting a qualitative approach, and incorporating interviews or surveys to strengthen the findings and explore the dynamics of narratives that emerge in the digital space.
